Jung, Adler, Horney.

Today we were assigned to research three people...Carl Jung, Alfred Adler, and Karen Horney. I first studied Jung because Dreier had a "Forever Jung" shirt on, probably because he thinks that it's funny. I came to find that Jung had input on the collective unconscious archetypes and was quite the interesting man. Jung worked with schizophrenic people and based his thoughts off of those people. He thought about archetypes and how they relate to the collective unconscious because they're psychic and innate behaviors to show basic human behavior. The most important archetype was the "self" and that is because it is the center of the psychic person. The next person that I looked up was Karen Horney, and I found that she dealt with women V. men and psychoanalysis. She questioned Freud's views on psychology and set out to show her beliefs. In her psychoanalytical social theory, she determined that people who don't feel loved tend to have basic anxiety and will have more of a tendency to either move close to people, move away from people, or move against people. Her women V. men research basically was a point to prove against Freud. She wanted to prove that yes, maybe certain women have penis envy, however; men also can have vagina or womb envy. She set out to prove that men were jealous of women as well, because they felt the desire to bear a child as well. She almost completely disagreed with Freud's views and how much emphasis he put on the male reproductive organs, while basically ignoring the female persona. The last person I had to study was Alfred Adler. Alfred not only had a beautiful name, but also had some great viewpoints. He was said to believe that children go through a phase of inferiority, where they believe they're inferior or above everything else. He thought that as the kids grow up, they find out that they're not inferior, so they continue to strive for power and recognition in order to try and reach this comfortable level of inferiority in our lives. That's all I've got, "Outskies for now!!!"
